Washington, D.C. — Today, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis during an immigration enforcement operation. In response, Dan Herman, senior director for democratic accountability at the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement:
This tragedy is the direct result of the Trump administration’s indiscriminate and reckless enforcement tactics. The administration is stoking a climate of fear and cruelty that is terrorizing our communities. It’s time to end this assault on American cities. The people of Minneapolis deserve a thorough investigation into this incident, and any wrongdoing must be punished.
